Sapphire 5870 $199 AR AC FS @ NE

[Spike]

Just got an email about a 72 hour sale and the Sapphire 5870 is listed for $260 after code VGAJDKLS. It also has a $30 MIR bringing the total down to $230. Seems like a pretty nice deal for what is still a great gaming card.

Now I'm kicking myself for ordering the Gigabyte 5870 for $280 AR even though it included a 1TB Seagate... oh well.

EDIT* OP Updated to include new price

EDIT 2 (1-19-11)* Thanks to Uareanoob for noticing the price has not dropped to $199. I have updated the code above and there is another rebate on good through the 31st. Dang these are getting cheap.

Yup - the $220 5870 is back. Everyone that wants the absolute best deal in video cards should run and get this now. Equivalent to a 6950 for $80 less.

Yes, it is in MOST (89%) Cases

But, beware that the min frames on the 5870 architecture is much lower "single digits" in some cases.. :|

Zargon - I'll be curious how this compares to your 4850x2, particulary in BC2. Should be slightly better, unless you were having crossfire problems, in which case it will be much better. One area it will absolutely trump your old card is in idle power. I notice you don't list idle power for your gaming rig, but I'm sure you will once you put this card in there. I'm betting you'll be around 100w.

HD5870 sale is back - now $230. A bit higher than before but still a good deal. Same link as shown above.

Mine have been lowered to 220$

I was going to make a new post but I decided to just bump this one. Same deal, new code VGAJDKLS.

This looks like an even better deal. Unless I'm reading this wrong $289 - $60 (code) - $30 (rebate) = $199? That seems like a stellar deal.

Don't you get a $30.00 Mail-in Rebate Card? I'm uncertain about this though.

 

[ImpulsE69]

yes I went through checkout, it is 299 - 10(IR) - 60(code) - $30 rebate card(?) This is just a normal rebate right from what I can tell. I'm tempted... the $30 rebate is listed at the top of the checkout, but is not tallied in the final price, so it should come out to $199 when all is said and done

 

[AznAnarchy99]

Ugh its so tempting to get one for xfire but I just cant justify it..
